Abstract
Rh(CO)2(acac) reacts with P(m-C6H4SO3Na.H2O)3 (P/Rh > 3.5) in water under CO to give HRh(CO)[P(m-C6H4SO3Na)3]3 (1a), the structure of which is similar to HRh(CO) (PPh3)3 (1b). High pressure NMR spectra of an aqueous solution containing 1a and three molar excess of P(m-C6H4SO3Na)3 does not show the formation of new species up to 200 atm of CO:H2(1:1). In contrast, 1b, in the presence of three molar excess of PPh3, is completely converted to HRh(CO)2(PPh3)2 (2b) under 30 atm CO/H2(1:1) in toluene. The activation energy of the dissociation of P(m-C6H4SO3Na)3 from 1a in water was found to be 30±1 kcal/mol, which is 11±1 kcal/mol higher than the dissociation of PPh3 from 1b in toluene. © 1989 J.C.
